Absolutely beautiful microphone. I love the transparent, unhyped sound it gives, and the additional design additions are second to none.

[FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

That are some serious vocal skills this young lady has. I don't care what microphone you use dear. YOU SOUND AWESOME!

[DPSharky]

Wow, what a fantastic performance by Haley and Patrik!! That mic definitely captured the subtleties and details of the vocals and the acoustic. I'm super impressed with it, and the app capabilities would definitely be something to experiment with! Great Demo Joe!!! Now I have to start saving money...

[chadfayrobinson]

Amazing talented people !!! That sounds so good !!

[petermcginty]

I have a pair of the AA O16s that have the same capsule and they are a great bargain. They remind of the older 414's, TLII's. They are cardioid only, which is usually fine.

[AniishMathewMusic]

My goodness!! Every thing sounds so crisp!! Would love to sing on it someday ❤️😍

[joibjalla]

I have the OC18 and love it. The 818 seems to have everything...and then some 🙂

[sevildogan]

this mic would make dolby atmos recording so much easier with that double cardioid capsule feature! looks fun to play around with

[rockinvida]

Great singer + killer acoustic guitarist + awesome microphone = A superb combination! 🙌

[olivercaminos]

Thumbs up for the song alone... the info on the mic is the gravy on top.

[DontStoneStephen]

Such a phenomenal song and this was a wonderful performance. I also like that the mic is a touch warm, so sibilance wasn’t an issue, and I like the depth created by getting front and back capsule recordings. I did adjust the phase a few samples, but that’s no big deal. I think I might grab a pair

[kristianmarschewski]

i realy love my oc818 <3
what i like to do is, if i have a guitar player and a singer right next to each other and they are playing together. The singer gets the OC818, because i can change the polarpattern realy precise to make sure the guitar is right in the of axis, so i minimise the bleed.
and it is just a great sounding mic, even without the fancy plugins :D
just listen to Joes Voice. it doesnt sound harsh, with great full mids.

Awesome performance with an awesome mic. I own one along with the matching OC18 for two years now, and it is my #1 goto choice for large diaphragm condensers. In some cases I switch to a JZ Black Hole for certain vocals or instruments, but the OC818 is the single mic I would take to a desert island.

[Joey-rpvg]

One mic to rule them all and in the studio bind ( Lord of the rings? ) That mic sounds real classy and smooth. Great review Joe, as always. Thanks very much and a big thanks to the PLAP team

[CrushingAxes]

Man I need to try one of those Autrian Audio mics, seems to work well with everything, this acoustic guitar sounds very awesome!

[paul_thomson]

got its litle brother; the OC16 last year - as here the acoustic guitar really shine and hardly have to eq apart from some room corrections - I’m sure I am picking up this mic is even better with vox too.

[paolotonolo]

Most interesting Mic ..thanks for the great vid 😊

[deanfarley]

This is one incredible microphone. I think it sounds way better than the current versions of the C414 or even the older BULS models. Versatility is out of the park!
